Savage Coil is progression no matter what people think of it as; there should not even be any doubts... Despite its small reward of granting you a bigger e-peen it is still currently the hardest content available.

I haven't done ramuh ex because the loot is useless and I've only heard of people complaining about how boring and easy it is....

It's good to know that not only did you question Savage Coil as progression, you questioned Ramuh Ex as progression on the basis of other people calling it boring and easy.

Yeah, of course the difficulty would be easy, especially when most groups that have cleared so far are decked in HA gear. This doesn't change the fact that it has the strictest add phase DPS check and requires the most party coordination out of all EX primals out currently.

You sound buttbutt...maybe because I posted that whatever group claims ramuh ex server first is a joke and then you went and claimed it...

Then again who cares...this game/patch couldn't possibly be any more of a snooze fest. :/ I would talk big game about how my group is gonna wreck you in 2.4 but I don't know if anyone in my group is still gonna play the game by then :/

Ramuh is still progression content nevertheless.

I think its safe to say that most of us don't find Ramuh EX difficult, but we can't pick and choose progression content. It is in fact the most recent primal released and should count as progression. That's just my opinion anyway. \o/

Progression: "a movement or development toward a destination or a more ADVANCED state, especially gradually or in stages."

Ramuh was put in the game to give casuals who can't do coil i100 weapons....

I understand the definition of the word. The point I was trying to get across was that we can't choose the fight's difficulty level. Its what SE gave us to work with. I personally feel better saying "I'm 6/6 EX primals" rather than "I'm 5/6 EX primals cause the other one is too easy" xD

Also if we're getting uber literal wouldn't you be ADVANCING by completing all the primals instead of just 5 of them?

I personally think OP is wasting his time tracking all the primal battles. Progression content is something that takes weeks or even months to complete. I wouldn't consider something that takes a few hours to a day to complete to fall in that category. But hey, if OP wants to take the time out of his day to track it no one is stopping him.

Ramuh will eventually be the pre-req for some other primal in the future, so technically, it is progression enough.

Point being, it was being tracked for others to see where other FC's stand. From the days of Ifrit HM to ramuh X, they were being tracked. As for your definition of progression, does it come down to saying we shall not include any other set of content from previous fights like ultima or older Extremes? Then why have ANY of it tracked at all? Why, simple. It is for others to see where a FC stands in content. Period. Why track the extreme mode fights if the weapons in T5 were better? -drops the mic-

Resurgence haven't downed Ramuh (or Levi/mog ex, according to this thread). Bunch of baddies. Definitely can't compete with Ramuh server first FC.

Its funny how nanaki points out ramuh as being progression, yet everyone is taking it as "ha ha, suck it we are better than you!" But sure, take it as you want. It is obvious that some people don't know what a joke is. Purple made a joking comment as "hope no one claims server first ramuh" -goes to check their groups progress and noticed their primal kills had server first marks- sure, challenge accepted. But I guess it doesn't count if some random group that was thrown together a month and a half into 2.2 does anything that can be joking if it hurts the pride of another fc... seems a bit childish to me. Kinda like, it only counts if we do it. Well, we know where you stand on the matter and I ain't gonna waste more time arguing with butthurt children over what was meant to be a joke. Seeing as most groups are restructuring for 2.4 due to scheduling reasons or personal reasons, we will just see you there. Maybe by then you can was that salt off and grow up a bit. Strange how when you go readpages 1 and 2, you see people claiming server first on other primals.

It's good to know that our small discussion on the status of progression turned into a show of pride and shot firing from you all of a sudden; I'm gonna have to ask you to put your e-peen back in your pants cause I think you're trying to compensate for something.

Don't even bother, no one owns a monitor with a resolution small enough to make it visible to the naked eye anymore anyway

So I believe all 8 man raid content including savage mode coils should be included in this forum. This information is rather nice to have to see what FC’s are active and gives an opportunity to congratulate them on their accomplishments.

As far as server firsts go, I think this goes agonist the main purpose of this forum, maybe we should consider stop tracking this kind of stuff? The difficulty of encounters changes drastically, and if we are trying to compare progression like players do in WoW… no serious guild ever cared about progression with normal modes, because those server first went to any player willing to wake up early and bash their head agonist any easy encounter until it falls over. Are they skilled players? Who knows, it’s impossible tell because the encounter is too easy.

...

*Character Limit so posting in 3 posts.*

Since FFXIV is still kind of a new game, it’s not really clear what an easy encounter is and what’s not. My opinion is an encounter you have the minimum item level to clear it with and the main way to get above the minimum item level is to clear it or get items from a time gated resource (tomestones). In this case the only hard encounters have been coils. Now it’s not really for me to say what’s hard and what’s easy, I think anyone will have varying opinions on this type of stuff.

...

My point is that people should post on this forum and track their fc’s progression. We as gaming community should congratulate them as we’ve done in the past. Players that care about stuff like server first and which fight is super hard and which isn’t, can just track it themselves.

I don’t think this forum provides any indication of which statics are more skilled then others so don’t use it like it does. There are groups that progress at the same rate, but one of them may only raid 6hrs a week and the others raid 30hrs a week. This information isn’t posted on these forums and I think this shows a great deal of difference in skill (Also no real way to track this, don’t bother claiming how long you work on fights).

Man 4 pages of useless garbage.

I'm going to be tracking things regardless if they are progression are not as it's not that time consuming. The reason for me doing this was for fun and to see how other FCs are doing.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on your stance of hard encounters.

IMO:
Coil = For Dedicated Players/Harder Challenge
Primals = For Fun/Easy Challenge

Regardless of whether or not they are easy or hard they will still both be tracked. Coil will be tracked regardless. Primal will be tracked for fun.

Just updating since we haven't for a while now- The War Council has downed t9 and Ramuh Ex. Screenshot as proof is on the front page of our enjin site: http://twc-ffxiv.enjin.com/. Unfortunately I don't have the shot myself. I'll update further with our kill video and picture of Ramuh Ex.

Edit: Here's the video of our first t9 kill...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WitfD33DFTs

Group in the linkshell is; Kate Blackburn, me, yuki totoro, cyth something (can't spell that), feberelle, knight artorias, Mel leonheart, and naw jum. That's the base of the raid, the rest there are unrelated to our raid. :P

Only kate and knight have anything to do with bad wolves.

Screenshot of the first T9 kill. 7 of 8 members from the kill are in SenpaiNoticeMe! LS.
Mel Leonhart - Gaia's Guardians
Naw Jum - Eternal Snow
Yuki Totoro - Bad Wolves
Cythlynn Mirai - Ashen Sorrow
Coraline Priduex - Cheesecake Massacre
Knight Artorias - Bad Wolves
Kate Blackburn - Bad Wolves
Kuu Sake - Paradigm Complex (fill in)

This is not a Bad Wolves raid group, we run off of the LS.

Now THIS is what really gets me fired up. Every other group that's posted in this thread for a T9 kill has had at least 1 person that I'm familiar with. You guys are 100% unfamiliar to me. I LOVE seeing new faces in new places, and hope I get the chance to make some acquaintances in the game. Grats on the kill and keep up the good work

Absolutely we need that also. Diabolos server seems to be on a diet (losing weight).
I'll probably spend the rest of my existence here partaking in LS static-ing. Since my FCs done left server, I just can't seem to abandon the house we built together (not to mention having a couple gardens to myself is a great source of gil).
Any plans on recreating the thread for 2.4?
